I’m telling you now, ripped jeans are back, but the styling is everything. While there are plenty of ways to wear the revived denim trend, the chicest pairing I’ve seen lately comes courtesy of Iris Law, who styled hers with a romantic boho blouse.

Teaming her lightly distressed jeans with a soft white blouse finished with delicate detailing, Iris gave the traditionally rugged denim a much fresher, more elevated energy. The femininity of the blouse balanced the undone feel of the jeans, creating contrast that entirley elevated her look.

Whilst ripped jeans have long been associated with more casual, off-duty styling, paired with a pretty blouse, they feel far more refined. The floaty silhouette and intricate detailing of a boho blouse soften the look, transforming distressed denim into something that feels easy, wearable and even elegant.

It also helps that the denim silhouette itself feels like a shift. After seasons dominated by rigid stovepipe styles, ripped jeans bring back a slightly more carefree approach to denim. They have an ease to them that lends itself perfectly to everyday dressing, especially when balanced with elevated staples.
